Fooled you, now you are reading this pointless article that contains no information on what it said it would contain, that could have been possibly caught in the forum's spam filter. :rolleyes:

Click baiting is what is usually referred to as false advertising, promising that "the new Iphone6 will help your health because of the new health app!" However click baiting is what it is referred to on the internet.

This will most often be seen on news websites, unfortunately. Reporters use this to bring in as many people as they can, usually by referencing a very controversial topic, or about health in the title. The articles themselves are usually of poor quality and are made purely for the purpose of advertisement revenue through the sidebar ads. The titles are engineered in such a way that many people won't think twice about clicking the link because we as humans are like curious kittens, and you know what they say about cats and Curiosity.

I know it's hard to get rid of Curiosity, I mean it is on Mars after all, but take a stand against these terrible new reporters and journalists. They are not doing their job correctly, so don't support their clickbait with your click.
